Description

Hi everyone. I know I’ve been silent on and off and I’ve attempted many times to come back and be active. There’s a reason for this I haven’t talked too in depth about, but unfortunately, it’s time I do so.


If you want to know the full details of what’s going on, please look here:

Otherwise here’s the tl;dr at the end: “I’m walking away from the MLP community. There is too much pain here and it’s become life threatening in many ways. I don’t feel safe or comfy. Too many nasty or illful, intentional or not, individuals plus mistreatment and disrespect have led me to need to get away. My health is also in jeopardy because of the stress. My friends have also been threatened or harmed because of these unfortunate instances or individuals. Stepping away will be good for my health and wellbeing as well as theirs.”


It’s unfortunate things have come to this and while a part of me is sad, I’m also happy. This is my chance to start anew and find a better place than the MLP community. I’ll be under less stress and I’ll feel better and safer for it. If you want to know how this will affect YouTube, see Part 2 there. Otherwise, I’ll be going over how this will affect my DA and other related socials.


What does this mean for this account, others associated, and projects? I will be canceling many things officially that includes the comic I wanted to bring back. If it does, probably won’t be MLP. I won’t be posting as much MLP art. You may see some art being posted. I have stuff I want to make for friends and such that I’ll want to share. I also want to do some quick adopts and possibly commissions to earn some extra funds so I can treat myself during my recovery period. This account could go a few ways. Either I am revamping it, or making a new art account here, on another site, or both. I have no idea what I’m going to do yet, I will let you know when I do. I will for sure be cleaning up my account, deleting or storing drawings so please save any art that is yours. I’ll also be unwatching a lot of people and leaving groups. It’s not because I don’t like your art or what have you, I just need to thin out the MLP art feed and get some variety.


I do have a Toyhouse and will continue to update it as I play around with designs. Redesigning, pony or otherwise, is a relaxing activity for me. I may even sell, trade, or give away ponies as I clean up. My FiMFiction I was hardly ever on and will most likely be left to sit. If I post stories and they’re MLP, they will most likely be put here. If you want to know what’s going on with YouTube and all that comes with it, look there.


For projects I offered work, I’ll decide where I stay and for how long. I intend to finish all my currently active roles. If a project has been proclaimed dead or has stayed silent for a prolonged time in which people are leaving, I will leave. If I don’t feel 100% comfy in a project, I may leave or work outside the server. If I finish my role, I’ll be leaving if I don’t care enough to stay or feel comfy. If your project is active, you will be informed of anything as needed. If I’m leaving, it’s not because I don’t like you or the project. I need to cut away from this community as much as possible. I’ll no longer be doing work for free. I will make exceptions for the following: good friends, projects run by good people I can trust, or ones that look good enough to join and interest me. I’ll only do anything MLP if I’m getting paid or for a good friend.


I’ll no doubt continue to love MLP and make stuff, but it will be majorly in private. Anything MLP I make and / or post from here on, even if it ends up being an audio drama, is because I’m feeling comfy enough to. Right now, I’m into MLP D&D and I will want to make things for it and it may be posted. I also want to open some commissions and the like to make some extra money before plunging into my recovery phase so I can treat myself. That doesn’t mean I’m coming back. For the projects I haven’t mentioned, I will give updates as needed in the community tab or their spaces. Unless I see them as completely dead.


As for community and fandom, you’ll find me in the Elements of Justice and Shining Through the Shadows spaces. They’re both run by lovely people and attached to wonderful projects you should support. I know the servers they have are fun, warm places too. Though I’m looking for non MLP, kinder and warmer communities as well. If anyone has suggestions, do give them. Right now, I’m considering Animal Crossing and podfics. Animal Crossing because that’s been a strong love of mine and podfics because a friend recommended them.


If you read all the way through and want to stick around, thank you, it’s deeply appreciated. It feels good to get all this off my chest and even better that I’m taking steps to get away. If you want to stick around for Conquest and / or Glass Wings and intend to dip after, I respect that. You most likely came here for that content and it’s not fair to ask you to stay beyond that.


If you need recommendations for projects to check out in place of this, Elements of Justice and Shining Through The Shadows obviously, Element of Kindness, Dancing With The Shadows, Doctor Whooves and Assistant, The Demon’s Daughter which is the third in the series so check out The Heart’s Shell and The Color Goddess while you’re there. Projects I don’t know how alive they are but still recommend are Doctor Whooves: Living Legacy, Reign of the Sun, and Chaotic Harmony when it comes out. There’s probably others, but that’s what I can think of right now.


That’s all for now. Thank you for all the good times. I wouldn’t be the person I am today without this community even if this is how it ends. To think I started making videos talking about audio dramas to overcome my fears and anxieties. Now I’m making this as a sign of how strong I’ve become. I’ll get stronger, I’ll overcome, and I have all the support and love I need to do so. I may not be okay right now, but I will be. If you need to contact me about anything, those who know my Discord can DM me, poke me on DeviantArt, or contact me through the Empire email which I’ll try to check. You can also leave a comment here unless what you have to say is private. Just know, I may not reply right away. I’m taking time to heal and execute what I need to in order to feel better. This process may take many months.


For now, I need to focus on myself. Play some video games, do non pony art, D&D, or art of my favorite characters, spend much needed time with friends, and more importantly, take steps to healing. I love you all! Please take care of yourselves, give love to those whom you care for and who care for you, and I look forward to a brighter future.


tl;dr


I’m walking away from the MLP community. There is too much pain here and it’s become life threatening in many ways. I don’t know what to do with this account yet. Many things are being scrapped. Planning to make some adopts and / or commissions to get extra funds for myself just for now. If I do post any MLP content, it’ll be because I feel comfortable enough to do so. Will do so more for myself, make things in private, or for my good friends. Pay me if you want me, I won’t be doing free work anymore with some limited exceptions. I will be completing what I owe people and that’s all.
